I mean, it's a pretty open & shut case; the only question is whether any court it ends up in (SCOTUS appeal, anyone?) will actually pay attention to the constitution or just let the imperial kakistocracy continue on.

Really unfortunate how many people flatly ignored the warnings about what Trump would do to the judiciary if elected

Unfortunately some people were not only paying attention, they were jerking off to it.

It was so clear, the only answer is that they all want it this way

Jerking off to it with one hand and typing "I did not vote for this" with the other when something affects them directly.

The massive republican owned media ecosystem will never allow democrats to be considered 'right' about anything. Even when they're literally quoting what Republicans say they want to do.

> kakistocracy thank you for this, it was new to me and probably the best descriptor i've heard so far.

Agents that were likely told to investigate by their superiors in accordance with the law

Id say there is nothing alleged about it. Trump and his entire regime have been abundantly clear and have out right said they were specifically going to target anyone who every criticized trump or was unwilling to blindly obey Trump. Like they have said this repeatedly. Hell trump has even made comments on several occasions stating he pardoned certain people specifically because they either supported him or were "loyal republicans". George Santos is one prime example if anyone wants to claim he never said such a thing.

The government will settle (unfortunately) as discovery wouldn't look too good for them (government).

Yeah but suing the government is a monumental task - it's expensive and time consuming. You've got to have some sort of support for yourself (and family if applicable) while you're doing it. If it's a choice between months or years of litigation and uncertainty, or taking a payout and moving on, a lot of people will choose the latter. Even if they are right. It's a sad aspect of the current legal system

Wofür gibt es denn das FBI überhaupt noch? Das kann doch alles die ICE Gestapo machen und die letzten noch der Verfassung treuen Bundesagentwn alle rausschmeißen

You may not recall, but in his first term Trump didn't understand the US Attorney General served the American people and not as his personal defense lawyer. Now in his 2nd term all these institutions now serve as his personal henchmen, as well as his private Gestapo which is made of of Proud Boys and white nationals used to get rid of minority Democrat voters ahead of the next election. Today he ordered to have a national list of all registered voters to help in this casue.

I hope Trump's knickers get twisted and he refuses to settle before discovery!

Trump has either corrupted or fired more federal employees than any other president.

Trump don't care. He'll be gone by the time this case reaches his Supreme Court.

It is just the start. More suits will be filed against this administration. Trump's influence is waning fast.

USA is a very corrupt nation. This regime came in to power and ruined anything it touched. Republicans allowed it, cheered for it, and even helped it along. They knew what and who he was before they elected Trump. They did it because "conservatives" wanted to harm others. They like inflicting pain on others that they see as less. They enjoy the chaos they have created. The only time they ever care about anything is when it affects them personally. They are fine with ICE murdering people so long as it had nothing to do with them. They like Tariffs as long as it hurts others. When it hurts them they hate it then. They like the war with Iran, because their cult leader says so. They are fine with pedophilia as long as it wasn't their own kids (and I wonder about even that with some of them). They LOVE forcing their religion onto others, and hate any that don't adhere to their narrow views of the world. The FBI is nothing more than an extension of this. The Republicans have finally found a leader that truly represents them. Greedy, demented, and criminal.
